1 God, be merciful to me because people are chasing me;the battle has pressed me all day long.
2 My enemies have chased me all day;there are many proud people fighting me.
3 When I am afraid,I will trust you.
4 I praise God for his word.I trust God, so I am not afraid.What can human beings do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words;all their evil plans are against me.
6 They wait. They hide.They watch my steps,hoping to kill me.
7 God, do not let them escape;punish the foreign nations in your anger.
8 You have recorded my troubles.You have kept a list of my tears.Aren’t they in your records?
9 On the day I call for help, my enemies will be defeated.I know that God is on my side.
10 I praise God for his word to me;I praise the Lord for his word.
11 I trust in God. I will not be afraid.What can people do to me?
12 God, I must keep my promises to you.I will give you my offerings to thank you,
13 because you have saved me from death.You have kept me from being defeated.So I will walk with Godin light among the living.
